“If you don’t make a path for yourself, your environment will do that job for you”. This was an early lesson Demetrius “Meech” Thigpen would learn, if he didn’t invocate change within himself. His story is no different than many youth, born in a metropolitan area riddle with drugs, crime, and plagued with addiction. Demetrius, the middle child of three siblings was raised by a single mother due to the absence of his father. Demetrius had to experience at an early age just how detrimental addiction was and the damage it can do to a family. Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, drugs, crime, addiction, and violence were the norm; and it was a life expected for most. With the lack of jobs and the poverty this city had to offer; Demetrius’s mother did the best she could in raising her two young children all on her own. With the loss of her job combined with the recession, the trajectory of their lives would shift from barely getting by to barely being able to keep the lights on. By the time Demetrius was graduating high school majority of the kids he grew up with had already begun to employ the lessons our environment had taught them; and many had already received the outcome. Demetrius was faced with the cruel realization about his future and what he could get out of this city. Eventually, this led him to make a tough decision at the tender age of 18; join the United States Marine Corps upon graduating high school. The time came and he enlisted in 2009. Demetrius has served 10 faithful years. Throughout his service he has faced obstacles and overcame adversity; deploying to different to countries in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, and the Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force. These tours along with many other challenges would go on to transform him into the man he is today. A Sergeant and Martial Arts Instructor Trainer within the United States Marine Corps, Demetrius has had the privilege to train, lead, guide, and mentor fellow Marines. Utilizing the training he received from the Marines Corps and the experiences from his life, Demetrius specializes in character development. His passion is helping people address the very obstacles that are holding them back from becoming the version of themselves that they were destined to be. Throughout his life Demetrius was able to overcome the biggest obstacle of his life: become a great father figure for his children even though he had no idea as to what that meant since his father battled with addiction for as long as he could remember. A loving husband and a great father to three beautiful children; he not only strives to fully be there for his family but he hopes he is able to inspire others that are currently struggling.

"Connie, where do you get all of that energy?" I was born with it! I exude passion for encouraging others to face themselves, to learn to appreciate, like and, dare I say, even love themselves? Those who are willing to courageously look inward are the fortunate few who can connect with their authentic, bodacious selves and who can create the happiest lives possible! For the past 30+ years, since beginning my own journey inward, I have developed a joy-filled life, a world I couldn't have imagined possible prior to rediscovering my authentic self. Since that time, my career and "hobbies" all center around heartening others to actualize the happiness they may be "wishing" for. Following a decade of internal self-demise, while simultaneously establishing a young family, at the age of 29, I entered intensive therapy and started a program of recovery from an array of chemical and behavioral addictions. I then returned to college to complete both a masters and PhD program, all the while continuing my own personal development and facilitating others in the process of becoming closer to the person they say they want to be. Twenty five years of clinical experience, speaking to patient and professional groups, intense observation of people, and incessant continued education from a myriad of sources have led me to the message I impart with diverse groups of people: Peel that onion of its layers of protective shields and rediscover the incredible, authentic self you were born to be. Get help and get happy! I look forward to capturing the attention of your group!
